Why use Take Control™ and Under Control™ together?
Take Control™ clarifies with Salicylic and Azelaic Acid, while Under Control™ follows with lightweight, mattifying hydration. Used together, they help address blemishes, oil, and pores while keeping skin feeling balanced and comfortable, without over-drying.
Is this duo suitable for oily and combination skin?
Yes. Both products are formulated for oily and combination skin and are ideal for people looking to manage excess oil, visible shine, and the appearance of pores.
Can I use both products every day?
Yes. Both formulas are dermatologist-tested and designed for daily morning and evening use. If you're new to exfoliating acids, begin by using Take Control™ a few times per week before increasing frequency as your skin adjusts.
In what order should I apply these products?
Apply Take Control™ Clarifying Serum first onto clean skin, allow it to absorb, then follow with Under Control™ Mattifying Gel Cream as your moisturizing step. Finish with SPF in the morning.

Will Under Control™ clog my pores?
No. Under Control™ is non-comedogenic, meaning it's formulated to help moisturize without clogging pores.
How long does it take to see results?
Results vary depending on your skin concerns and routine. With consistent use of both products, improvements in the appearance of clearer-looking skin, clogged pores, skin texture, post-acne marks, and visible shine may become more noticeable over time.
